Hi!

Bulgin were very forward–thinking both in the circuits they designed for use with their components, and also in the design and layout of this publication – the style and quality of the drawings was at least ten years in the future for most of the contemporary magazines of that date, and "Uno" stencilled lettering, 1.4V B7G battery valves, octal–base 6.3V valves, and the "magic–eye" tuning indicator were still about five or six years (and a world war as well in the case of the more modern lettering) away!
